Leclerc says Hamilton's sensitivities are a key learning point

Charles Leclerc has said that one of the biggest lessons from being Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari team-mate is understanding what the seven-time world champion is sensitive to. He said that he learns a great deal from Hamilton, both inside the garage and in meeting rooms, by observing how he works and what his priorities are. Leclerc added that sensitivities differ from driver to driver, and that he also looks across the garage on track to find ways to improve his driving style.

George Russell, who was alongside Hamilton and Leclerc, also spoke about his relationship with Hamilton, having been his Mercedes team-mate from 2022 to 2024. Russell said he had learned a lot from Hamilton and praised him as a great guy, adding that it had been a privilege to share the track and the garage with him. He also noted that Hamilton is keen on movies.
